Database Analyzer PLUS

Product Specification :

PBS provides ready-to-run add-on solutions for SAP® data archiving. The PBS Database Analyzer Plus

assists you with the planning, conception and realization of your archiving project.

Function

: In the run-up to your archiving project PBS Database Analyzer Plus enables you to analyze the capacity

commitment of your archiving objects in the database and to determine the cur-rent storage space. You

are also able to define the document distribution of the selected SAP modules and to check the

archivability of selected SD, FI and MM documents.

The Database Analyzer PLUS answers the following questions: 

How much is my database increasing?

For which archiving objects does archiving make sense?  Which module requires most of the disk space?  Which PBS archive add on do I need?  How much disk space is occupied by a certain module, e.g. FI?  How big is the monthly document volume in the financial accounting?  How big is an average purchasing document?  Which table can be archived with which archiving object?

Capacity Commitment :

Using the PBS Database Analyzer Plus you can identify the storage requirement of the ar-chiving objects.

With periodically analysis you can determine the effects on the data volume of your database prior to or 

after the data archiving.

 At present more than three hundred (value depends on each release) archiving objects are evaluated to

define the capacity commitment. The results are stored for later evaluation in a data base table according

to different criteria. The allocation of one table to several archiving objects is also considered. Herewith

the utility completely adds the determined capacity to one archiving object or splits it according to a

defined system. Sometimes it can be of inter-est to determine the increase of a table independent of thearchiving object. In this case you have the opportunity to analyze one single table. Therefore, a single

table analysis can be carried out, whereby archiving objects can be assigned by mouse click.

Document Distribution :

The analysis of document distribution provides you detailed information on the distribution of the required

disk space. You are also informed on the chronological distribution of the en-tered documents. The

general grouping criteria are client and period. Grouping criteria like company code and document type

exist in the areas of financial accounting and purchasing. Application attributes (invoice, delivery note,

order) are available criteria in the sales area. You have the opportunity to define the selection and

grouping criteria.

The evaluation of the document distribution helps you with the definition of an archiving con-cept in

coordination with the involved departments. It also facilitates the definition of impor-tant customizing

parameters, e.g. residence time.

ArchivabilityCheck :

The PBS Database Analyzer PLUS determines the archive ability of selected archiving ob-jects. This is

important when documents belonging to the period of the archiving run are not archived. You have the

possibility to call the archiveability check within the document distri-bution analysis and to check the

selected periods. The PBS Database Analyzer PLUS pro-vides detailed information about the reasons of 

excluding the document from archiving.
